Stop the Raids

Oree Originol

Migration Now! was a 2012 print portfolio co-produced by Justseeds and CultureStrike (CultureStrike is now part of the Center for Cultural Power) which explored the social, cultural, and emotional facets of immigration.

Born in Los Angeles, Oree Originol is a self taught artist who explores geometry, ancient symbolism, and the imagination in his art work. Influenced by Pre-Columbian iconography remixed with his contemporary interpretation of the universe, Oree constructs hypnotic patterns using shapes and structures. His complex arrangements interpose triangles, circles, and other shapes with solid colors to develop vibrating relationships of space, giving his compositions an infinite life of endless possibilities. Oree currently resides in Oakland, California where he has been merging his art practice with social justice movements, including immigration.

Original’s print calls attention to the immigration raids conducted by ICE that devastate families and terrorize communities. After workplace raids started to receive negative media attention, ICE began to raid homes instead in order to inhumanely arrest and deport undocumented parents, students, and children.

Seattle’s International Working Women’s Day for Palestine and Beyond

“We stand in solidarity with our Palestinian siblings in Gaza and those among our community who are directly and indirectly affected by the current war and genocide by the Israeli settler-colonial regime. Passive observation of the horrors of bombings, genocide, and prolonged apartheid is not our way. We must rise and firmly proclaim that Palestinian Liberation is a Feminist Imperative.” – Feminists for Jina Seattle
